:36:01
- Now I know you're not serious.
(Rupert) - l'm a very serious fellow.
:36:05
Then may I ask who is to decide
if a human being is inferior,
:36:09
and is therefore
a suitable victim for murder?
:36:11
- The privileged few who commit it.
- And just who might they be?
:36:15
Oh, myself, Phillip...
:36:19
possibly Rupert.
:36:21
(Rupert) l'm sorry, Kenneth, you're out.
:36:23
- Gentlemen, I'm serious.
- And so are we, Mr Kentley.
:36:26
The few are those men of such
intellectual and cultural superiority
:36:29
that they're above
the traditional moral concepts.
:36:33
Good and evil, right and wrong were
invented for the ordinary average man,
:36:36
the inferior man, because he needs them.
:36:38
So you agree with Nietzsche
and his theory of the superman.
:36:40
- Yes, I do.
- So did Hitler.
:36:42
Hitler was a paranoid savage.
:36:44
His supermen, all fascist supermen
were brainless murderers.
:36:47
I'd hang any who were left.
:36:48
But then, you see,
I'd hang them first for being stupid.
:36:52
I'd hang all incompetents and fools.
There are far too many in the world.
:36:56
Then hang me. I must be stupid, because
I don't know if you're serious or not.
:37:00
In any case,
I'd rather not hear any more of your,
:37:03
forgive me, contempt, for humanity,
:37:05
and for the standards of a world
that I believe is civilised.
:37:08
- Civilised?
- Yes.
:37:09
Perhaps what is called
''Civilisation'' is hypocrisy.
:37:11
Well, l'm sure Rupert, fortunately,
has the intelligence and imagination -
:37:16
(Kentley) Please, Brandon,
we've had had just about enough.
:37:22
Phillip, where did you put those books
you set out for Mr Kentley?
:37:25
- I'd like to see them myself, if I may.
(Phillip) - They're in the dining room.
:37:29
Mr Kentley, wouldn't you
like to see the books now?
:37:31
I apologise, sir.
:37:34
Again, I'm afraid
I let myself get carried away.
:37:36
Oh, that's quite alright, my boy.
:37:39
I think it's a good collection,
the first editions, I mean.
:37:42
Yes, I'd like to see them.
May I use the telephone first?
:37:45
I'd like to talk to my wife.
She may have some word of David.
:37:48
(Phillip) - Of course, it's this way.
(Atwater) - Oh, dear, oh, dear -
:37:51
- Uh, Brandon?
- Yes.
:37:55
You were pushing your point rather hard.
:37:58
You aren't planning to do away with
a few inferiors, by any chance?
